I am having a problem installing XFree86 under NetBSD 1.1.  I checked
the FAQ and can't find anything.  It seems to be related to xterm and
not X itself.  If I run X directly then everything seems to run O.K.
(Unfortunately I can't start any other programs... I assume xterm is a
requirement if X is to be useful)  I am new to X and relatively new to
UNIX so I appologize if this problem has an obvious answer.  

Below is the output from running the command

startx >& startx.out


TIA
